Author Topic: Motives  (Read 1821 times)

I came up for a brilliant idea for city RP!
When playing on one of Iban's City RP servers, I noticed he had food.
Then later on I began to think of the wonderful The Sims 2 games.
In The Sims and The Sims 2, you have motives, which are basically things like:
  • Bladder
  • Energy
  • Social
  • Hunger
  • Environment
  • Hygine
  • I may have missed some...
Then I thought, "This would be great for City RP!"
And no one can tell me impossible!, because on Iban's City RP servers he has hunger...
The motives I think should be used are all motives exept for environment and social.(plus an entertainment motive)
This is because these are pretty much useless in BL.
The result for letting your motives go own until its almost gone should be:
  • Bladder-soiling yourself and being fined by the city.(and then having to clean it up)
  • Energy-Falling asleep and being mugged in your sleep.
  • Hunger-Getting treated in the hospital resulting in a extremly large doctors bill.
  • Hygine-You start to grow fungus on your body and you must be treated by the biohazard team, then they charge you.
  • Entertainment-You must be treated by a professional clown, and you must be charged.
Any charges/muggings you can not pay goes into dept. You may be thinking,"It's just a simple 500 dollar fine, not a big deal." The fines/muggings will be at 1000+ to make sure they keep it happy.

To Do List
I am considering learning the fascinating language of the Torque Script...
I also need to learn what is wrong with my port forwarding.

After finishing this to do list I am going to do everything in my power to make a motives add-on!


If anyone wants to take a shot at it for me, please try! Wish me luck!



P.S. If anyone willing to take up the offer of making a motives add-on who has questions, I would consider asking Iban anout his stunning food addition to city RP.

I had a hunger mod in V8.

Very good Idea. though there's somethin about blockheads pooping in the streets
that sounds.....strange  :cookieMonster:

There was a /pee command in V8 (it was an add-on)



you forgot fun and comfort btw

you forgot fun and comfort btw
I know, in BL there is really no way to fill those up. I suppose that comfort could be added. Yet, I feel it isn't necessary... and fun is basically entertainment.

Excellent idea! But I can't get my dedication working. Maybe just a mod that doesnt require a dedicated server?

Yeah, It dosn't need to be a DL to add-on to city RP. It can just be for any server type.


I would say that there should be admin-only events, as in a normal player can't access them, without an admin helping.
Then, we can make variable-like events, that are admin only. An administrator can setup showers/toilets/food/whatever.

Sounds awesome, except for the entertainment witht the clown part. Can't it just be like watching tv, fighting, etc? Also, a good idea is to add the social motive in there. Your social goes up when you talk in the chat. Just an idea to add.

The clown is only an excuse to charge them if they let there entertainment go bad. TV and stuff like that are ways to fill it. But the clown is punishment for not filling it.


For the chat social idea:Then people would be spamming with random words in the chat bar just to keep it high. Since people already talk, It is useless.
